Woman - Alan Clayson

Although most famous as John Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono has many strings to her bow and, given her media profile, it is a wonder that there have never been any major books written about her life. While most writers usually talk about the part she played in breaking up the Beatles, this book bucks that trend, focusing on her extraordinary life, from her childhood in Nagasaki to her move to London in the '60s where she joined the community of avant-garde artists and where she met John Lennon. The book covers their relationship and even Yoko's lonely years after Lennon's death.
